On a dark night, in the last days of… July, I went to an event that’s undoubtedly a celebration of gaming culture. That would be Bonus Stage. The live gaming-themed variety show is the somewhat unseemly love-child of Carlo Ritchie and Ben O’Brien. In advance of their next show, I had the chance to speak with Bonus Stage’s O’Brien this week, and ask him a few serious (and many not-so-serious) questions.

By Azura, it’s you! In case you missed our coverage at the start of the month, The Elder Scrolls Online has received its first dose of DLC in the form of Imperial City. It was originally released to PC and Mac versions of the game, and as we previously reported, the content would also be making its way to console editions of the game later in the month.

In a case of get-it-while-you-can, Frictional Games are doing a sale on their content over on Steam right now. Starting on the 15th for… well, wherever they do the timezone, you can get 20% off a bunch of their range. That’s really not while you’re here though – yes, during this same period, Amnesia: Dark Descent is free. As in, it’s free right this second.

Until Dawn is the epitome of a slow-burning sleeper hit. Developed by Supermassive Games, this choose-your-own-adventure love letter to 90’s horror arrived on the PS4 with relatively little hype and a lot of detractors prior to release, but has rightfully earned considerable praise and popularity. Until Dawn has slick presentation, engaging writing and gameplay focused on player choice.Highly addictive entertainment, memorable moments and lovingly-crafted atmosphere make it easy to put up with shortcomings, and mean the game can expect to feature in numerous “Best of 2015” lists.

The Sydney Maritime Museum played host last night to the World of Warships launch, the next freemium MMO from Wargaming, also known for World of Warplanes, and to a larger extent, World of Tanks. (Though I really want to say WAR Tanks).

With only two months to go until we cram ourselves into the closed underground spaces of Vault 111, Bethesda Game Studios have released some information on what the many courageous vault enter-ers can expect once Fallout 4 is out, and then… beyond.

Even in writing this, in putting a summation of my experience with the game down into words, I still don’t know how one would actually review The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt Red’s third instalment in the life of the titular witcher, Geralt of Rivia, is a game that feels larger than any of the behemoths one might encounter while playing.

Australian indie developer Witch Beam is gearing up for the release of their rapid-fire twin-stick shooter, Assault Android Cactus, due out on September 23, to an initial PC slather of Windows, OSX and Linux. Console owners hoping for some android lovin’ will have to wait until next year, when it’ll become available to PS4, Vita and Wii U platforms, but it is on the way.

Over a year since its original release, and months since the console release, The Elder Scrolls Online is getting some DLC. Imperial City is the very first of the planned DLC releases for the game, and has now been released on PC. While it will be just over two weeks until console editions of the game get a dose of Cyrodilic love, players on PC can now grab Imperial City either through ESO Plus, or via the game’s Crown store.

It’s Atari nostalgia to the MAX with Headlander – read Shaun’s news report on the game below! Double Fine Productions have announced their next game Headlander, which will be published in association with Adult Swim Games. It’s a retro 80-themed Sci-Fi side-scrolling romp, filled to the brim with neon, robots, and lasers. The announce trailer doesn’t give away much in the way of story, but does show off the game’s core mechanic- the ability to detach your head from your current body and attach it to another. Anyone anyone else getting visions of Nixon in Futurama? There are numerous body […]
